A wave of Series A and seed rounds has landed for European and US startups building AI agents and simulation tools aimed at industry, real estate, acoustics and healthcare.
Magentic, which supplies AI-powered digital workers for industrial companies, raised $18 million in a Series A round led by Felicis, with continued backing from Sequoia Capital and The Westly Group. The company, launched a year earlier, develops multi-agent systems that automate procurement and operational workflows for large manufacturers. Its agents work through tools employees already use, such as Microsoft Teams, email and internal systems, and can handle tasks end to end, including deciding whether to buy or build products, choosing suppliers, negotiating contracts, managing orders and processing invoices. Magentic covers both indirect procurement and direct spend on raw materials, and is aimed at teams operating across fragmented technology environments in global manufacturing.
